It was scrapped. There are engineering and regulatory issues with trying 
to re-erect a fallen tower. They replaced it with a new one.

Directional AM stations have arrays of two or more towers, and it's not 
uncommon to find towers of different ages in the same array, as a result 
of past tower collapses.
